Quite the Shocking Surprise!

Tweet Julia and I went out this evening to run some errands. We did not expect to return home to find that Noah wasn’t the only one who wanted his hair buzzed! This may take some getting used to!

Happy Birthday, Ethan and Zach!!

Tweet I can’t believe my little “gummy bear babies” are TEN YEARS OLD!! My, how time flies! Happy birthday to my little men! Love you both!!

Who’s Who?

Tweet I took Ethan and Zach to get haircuts yesterday. With their longer hair styles I don’t trust myself to cut it properly, like I do the younger boys. I was shocked when I discovered that one decided to cut his hair much shorter than the other… Never before have they actually wanted to look [...]

March for Babies with Famous Footwear

Tweet So fragile, their little bodies fit perfectly in the palm of my hands. Daddy’s wedding ring could fit on their tiny wrists. At two pounds, 5 ounces and three pounds, three ounces they were larger than life. I was in love. BUT… They couldn’t come home with me. They were too fragile and too [...]

Secret Ink

Tweet Today Ethan read all about secret ink in The Dangerous Book for Boys. One of the agents that can be used for this disappearing ink is urine and, of course, Ethan wanted to try it. Uh, I don’t think so. The book says milk works, as well as lemon juice and egg whites. The [...]

Ethan + Night Terrors = Scary Stuff

Tweet Ethan and Zach both had night terrors when they were babies. I remember being a young and frightened mama, whose babies would thrash around and scream, for no apparent reason, while not responding to me. One second they were reaching out for me, and the next they would push me away. Fast forward five [...]

More Excitement

Tweet Ethan and I made another trip to the hospital today, this time for a scheduled visit. One last test was ordered for Ethan, to rule out any abnormal activity in his brain. The EEG was quick and painless, although Ethan did have to sit still for 20 minutes… Oh, the horror! Once they had [...]

Updates

Tweet First of all, I want to thank you all who have left me such thoughtful comments, tweets and messages. Also, I’d like to send out a special HUG for all who have stepped in to help Ray with the kids. You have no idea how much it means to me to know that there [...]

I didn’t think it would happen to me…

Tweet Ask any one of my family members or friends and they will tell you that I am not typically the type of mom who coddles her children. When one of my boys falls, I tell them to get up and keep running. My kiddos (no more babies here) play in the tub while I [...]

“kinda stressful”

Tweet Today started like so many other days, although a few of my kiddos decided to sleep in a bit. Not entirely abnormal, I wasn’t surprised when Ethan said, shortly after 10am that he hadn’t eaten breakfast. He came in from saying hello to his neighborhood friends, hopped up on the counter and drank from [...]
